How to Find Accurate Terrain and Canopy Height GEDIFootprints in Temperate Forests and Grasslands?
Research Article by Vítězslav Moudrý. Introduction to GEDI Data Filtering The Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation (GEDI) mission collects terrain and canopy height data using spaceborne lidar. While it provides invaluable forest and grassland height metrics, accurately using GEDI data requires filtering out noisy and low-quality observations affected by environmental and acquisition conditions. This study aims…
